Sunderland goalkeeper Craig Gordon admits he's frustrated about playing second fiddle to Marton Fulop.
The keeper told the Sunderland Echo: "I know Marton was very frustrated in the summer when he hadn't had a look-in last season, and now I know how he felt. It's not nice.
"I still don't see myself as being behind anybody and I'm sure Marton sees it the same way.
"That was always going to be the situation when you have two international goalkeepers fighting for one place in the side.
"There is a situation here in that we both want to play, and there is nothing wrong with that.
"But whoever is not playing is going to be very unhappy indeed - that's the way it is.
"All I can do is focus on doing my job and hopefully I will get my place back as quickly as possible."
